MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Battle Portals: Ignitor and Chop Chop

Chop Chop and Ignitor on Battle Portals

In our continuing series of reviews of MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants sets we now get to our last two Battle Portals. The Battle Portals that we get to this time are for Ignitor and Chop Chop. We also play another game with the Ultimate Battle Arcade called Battle Shuffle. The game is like shuffleboard and you take your battle portals and slide them as close as you can to the gate without hitting the sheep. To play this game you need to rebuild the Ultimate Battle Arcade in a different configuration. This is one of my favorite games to play in the Ultimate Battle arcade. Here is our review.

Caught Andrew reaching for a frozen waffle.

Took Andrew to swimming today. He enjoys being int he water but hasn’t quite gotten the concept of moving his arms and legs to swim a bit. He does hold the side of the pool and climb out pretty well. He doesn’t do too badly jumping. I do have to say 1-2-3 quickly though because he wants to get back in really quickly. He enjoys it though and has fun, I have fun too. It completely knocks him out afterwards though. I can take him home and he sleeps the whole way. He even sleeps on my shoulder as I bring him into the house and up to his bed. I love holding a sleeping child.

Been working on getting all of our existing Skylanders completely upgraded through Heroic challenges. I’ve done almost every one of the new Giants figures (down to finishing Ninjini). I’ve got a bunch of series two figures to upgrade and then on Easter Eva’s getting a couple more figures so I think we’re at about 30 left to upgrade, that is before any new ones come out. We’ve got six left to find in the wild.
